Where is the VIN located on a car?

Vehicle VIN codes can generally be seen at the lower position of the front windshield on the driver's side. They can also be found on the car's trunk or engine frame. The vehicle VIN code is essentially the chassis number. The functions of the chassis number: Confirming vehicle identity: Especially under special circumstances, the chassis number can accurately identify your vehicle, saving time. Due to the uniqueness of the chassis number, it can better confirm the vehicle. Traffic violation queries: Vehicle owners need to input the chassis number to check for violations. Precise parts lookup: If vehicle owners are unsure about part numbers, they can search by inputting the chassis number. Many after-sales personnel operate this way. Composition of the chassis number: The chassis number is a 17-character serial code, consisting of uppercase English letters and numbers. These 17 characters can be divided into three parts: the first part is WMI—World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1–3); the second part is VDS—Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4–9); and the third part is VIS—Vehicle Indicator Section (positions 10–17).
